The Fruitless will be cut down..

So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?' (Luke 13:7)

If you plant a fruit tree, you expect that someday that tree will bear a fruit for you..I believe you will love the tree, you will watering it, give fertilizer, put it in extra sunshine..you do love it..
Well, after a period of time, now is the time for harvesting..hmm, is your heart beating to expect your first fruit?..I bet you do..

Ooh, the tree is fruitless..a little dissapointment happened? I believe you do..after all you have done, fiuuh..in your mind, maybe next time will be better..but the next harvesting time, the tree is still doesn't bear fruit..another next time? still the same way as it is, your tree is fruitless..what would you do? Get angry then cut it down? Yeah, it is the most logical thinking..

When the first time I read this verse, I shocked..I know that trees is implying me and you. We are God's trees. It means if we dont deliver fruit, we will be cut down..At that time, I am thinking how sad I am to be rejected and cut down by Lord.
Praise the Lord as He is good to us...hmm, I think you have several questions in mind?..Let me answer it for you..

1. What is the fruit actually? and in what way you can produce it?
The fruit here is how we regret from our sins and leave our old life behind. it means that we
are leaving from our human way to follow Lord's way. We will live and come to Lord with a full trust of Lord, that affects to the way of thinking and way of act.

Every Christian should have commitment to put Lord's command as the prime one in their life which determine every decision in Lord's will.
the Next step, that you should be able to produce fruit of spirits: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance (Galatians 5:22-23).
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in daily life to guide you everyday.

2. How long Lord give us time to deliver fruit?
Lord gives us time to produce fruit of repent & forswear and fruit of spirits for Him during our life span..now it is your chance to produce and become a bless for many people.

Summary:
In Christian life, we learn to be responsible to produce fruit of repent & foreswear and fruit of spirits. Make sure that everyday, you are delivering them in your life and become the bless for many people.
